Great macro/normal lens for Minolta Maxxum/Sony Alpha
1 of 1 found this helpful Likes: Sharp images; Compact size/weight; Non-reflective black barrel; F/2.8 great for indoor portraits, etc.; 50mm works out to approx 70mm on my Minolta 7D; Attractive price vs. Minolta 50mm macro lens; Autofocus very fast at "normal" distances; It is now my "normal indoor lens". ---------
Dislikes: Autofocus motor runs continuously at macro ranges (manual focus works fine); Focus ring could be a bit smoother; Lens hood screws into filter thread in lieu of the typical snap-on. How spoiled we have become!! -----------
I decided on this lens for macro work because of Sigma's reputation and because of price considerations. There are 100mm lenses out there which probably facilitate frontal lighting for close-up work, but this lens, at effective 70mm, actually produces macro images larger than life-size on my 7D. The f/2.8 aperture is a necessity for close-ups, and the handiness of autofocus for portraits and general snapshots is a huge bonus. Who could resist it?

Beautiful train runs great
Appearance and detail are great. The train runs beautifully on Kato Unitrack. It can do a scale 100 mph on a 19" radius banked curve. It sounds great without a sound card, but I'll probably install one later to get the horn and bell sounds. I'll probably install light kits in the cars as well. The loco headlight and observation car tail-light work fine.
